‘Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sabotaged the mission of a delegation of Mideast Quartet diplomats, who were set to arrive in the occupied territories to help end the ongoing violence there.
“The Israelis told us that this is not a good time to talk about diplomatic matters,” a Western diplomat told the Israeli media on Monday after reports that the envoys from the Middle East Quartet, which comprises the United States, the United Nations, the European Union and Russia, had been told by the Israeli premier to cancel their trip to the occupied territories this week.
The envoys planned to hold discussions with Israeli and Palestinian officials in order to try to help calm the unrest that has plagued the occupied territories especially the West Bank and East al-Quds (Jerusalem) in the recent weeks.’
